The Revlon ColorStay Longwear Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin excels in providing a durable yet comfortable base throughout the day. Its Hyaluronic Acid content ensures your skin remains hydrated, preventing the dry, tight feeling often associated with longwear foundations. In real-world use, this foundation stands up to demanding conditions, from humid weather to light perspiration, without noticeable transfer or breakdown, thanks to its waterproof and transfer-resistant properties.
For a natural, radiant finish, start with a well-moisturized and primed face. Applying 1-2 pumps with your fingers or a brush, blending from the center of your face outwards, allows for controlled buildable coverage. The breathable formula means it feels light on the skin, avoiding a heavy or cakey appearance. If you need more coverage in specific areas, simply layer a small amount, buffing gently in circular motions. The Nude shade is designed to provide a natural-looking base, working best when blended seamlessly into your natural skin tone. For a complete look, pairing it with a concealer like the ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer can further perfect your complexion.
Achieving a flawless finish with your Revlon ColorStay Foundation requires proper skin preparation and application technique.
Prepare Your Skin: Begin with a clean, dry face. Apply your usual moisturizer and a primer suitable for normal to dry skin. This creates a smooth canvas and enhances foundation longevity.
Dispense Product: Pump 1-2 pumps of the foundation onto the back of your hand or directly onto your chosen applicator (fingers or foundation brush).
Apply to Face: Dot the foundation onto key areas: cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose.
Blend: Start blending from the center of your face outwards. Use gentle, circular buffing motions. Work on one area at a time to ensure even coverage before the foundation sets.
Build Coverage: If you desire more coverage in certain spots, apply a small additional amount and blend, repeating as needed.
Conceal & Set: For a perfected look, follow with concealer on imperfections, dark spots, or under-eye circles. You may choose to set with a powder if desired, particularly in areas prone to shine, though this normal/dry formula is less likely to require it.
Skin Type: This specific formula is suitable for normal to dry skin types. It is not recommended for combination or oily skin, for which a different ColorStay formula exists.
Shade: The 'Nude' shade is designed for specific skin tones. For best results, ensure this shade matches your natural complexion. Revlon offers a wide range of ColorStay shades for different skin tones.
Product Pairing: Works well with Revlon's ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer and other makeup products.
Storage: Store the foundation at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
Hygiene: Ensure your hands are clean before application if using fingers. Regularly clean your foundation brushes or sponges with a gentle cleanser to prevent bacterial buildup and ensure smooth application.
